Social Media Fans Go After Chrysler Ads Following Charlottesville Tragedy

Social Media Fans Go After Chrysler Ads Following Charlottesville Tragedy
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Dodge brand deleted social-media posts promoting drag races that took place the day the driver of one of its vehicles killed a protester and injured at least 19 others in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Until Tuesday afternoon, the last four posts on Dodge’s Twitter account used the hashtag #RoadkillNights, referring to a series of races held Saturday near Detroit that the brand sponsored. That same day, an Ohio man drove a Dodge Challenger into a group of counter protesters at a white nationalist and supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

And torch carrying 20-something Nazis, KKK members and all their ilk will all be arrested and locked up in good time for hate speech and disturbing the peace. My Grandfather and his friends didn't fight and die in WWII to allow these idiots with their GoT wooden shields and tin hats to threaten any part of the population in 2017. #avengers

MDarringer: Thank-you for your ever-diligent reminder to us that the Brown Shirt mindset was not unique to the era of the Third Reich, or to the people where the movement was born.

As I recall history, the great nation of America, or said more accurately, the great men and women from the nation of America, of all creeds, religions, and colors, fought *against* the Brown Shirts, and won!

I wish All Americans, and all good people of the world, success in bringing down the Third Reich's "echo," and those who support its beliefs and principles.

What’s curious, is that according to The Government, and Law, and evidently a number of people here on AutoSpies, the KKK aren’t!

Actually - that was show to be NOT true - Initially it was reported by the FAR RIGHT that the driver wan an AntiTrump Leftist - that has been withdrawn - with the verified information that the Driver actually was a part of the Alt-Right Vanguard America Group.

Frankly - the Make of the Car is not of any issue to me - and I would just as soon have had them NOT identify that. THE people were hit by the Alt-Right Driver.

Yes lets ban all cars for the precious little socialist snowflakes then we could all hold hands and sing Kumbaya as we eat avocado toast and sip Mocha Focha soy milk lattes to help boost estrogen levels and further feminize the little boy pussies. God I hate the modern world.

Not about banning the car or the series. Reading the article helps. Just a really poor event naming choice and car combo coincidence. There are more important things to complain about for sure. Not sure how "Roadkill Nights" ever got approved internally by anybody in Marketing at Dodge. I am sure the local police (who hate street racers and street racing) loved the connotation too. Change the name of the series (Mopar Drag Nights...) and keep it running. So long as it is done on a closed roadway and it gives car owners a safe spot to see what their cars can really do. Moving on.

While I agree that limiting the group to car topics and leaving the politics to some other place is desired - It won't happen - unless the moderators start editing posts - a drastic action. I believe that this whole mess was improperly handled - by the media and the politicians. AND - hard to believe - as a Liberal - I also support SOME of Mr. Trumps remarks. He is - afterall - the President who has sworn to uphold the constitution - which includes the Bill of RIGHTS - and that includes freedom of speech and expression. AS much as I am against the alt-right desires for new discrimination - which I would shout against at the highest volume I could - I live in the USA - and people do have the right to say what they want - even if it would be against the law to actually do. AND - I am lucky to have the VERY smartest mother in the world - not any other one comes close - and I can recall her saying - if you do not want to get hit - try staying far away from the fight.

Free speech is a welcome part of any democracy. As is a free press. However (I checked with the police station in my area today) walking around at night with torches, chanting "Jews will not replace us", "Blood and Soil", "Who's streets?...Our Streets!" would get you stopped by the cops, questioned, have your torches taken away and extinguished and be charged with a hate crime. And while I agree with what TomM said (I have a smart Mom too .... riots are indeed dangerous) murder is still murder.

Mr. Darringer, haven't we had enough killing to last us for awhile? Why grow the body count, even rhetorically?

Once again you utter complete bullshit which is not surprising as you are a Torontonian which automatically makes you a Trump hating liberal (as evidenced by almost any of your posts) and are part of the Liberal government destruction and $312 BILLION indebtedness of Ontario.

A Toronto Mosque posted a video to its youtube or facebook channel recently whereby the Iman preached death to the Jews and to be a good jihadist in his prayers to his child molesting god (Mohammed). Toronto police investigated yet no charges were laid. This is a hate crime by every definition yet no charges were laid by the coward police as to not to offend the Muslims. If it were a Rabbi saying death to the Muslims all Synagogues would be immediately shuttered and non stop government condemnation and shaming would ensue.

Enforce laws equally to all or it is racial discrimination PERIOD. No special treatment for ANYONE.

Q- Enjoy working out of Hong Kong. I hope you will still post from you new home in Asia. Should the Chinese take it over one day and you wind up in prison as a subversive capitalist foreigner, I am sure you won't need to call on the weak CDN Government to bail you out / get you out of Dodge. You are your own man and can clearly take care of yourself. Enjoy! :)

Newsflash -the Chinese did take HK over quite some time ago I may add so read the news and not just the fake news with your rose petal glasses. I am not a US killing soldier Islamist Jihadist nor do I vote lefty libtard so the utterly incompetent Canadian government would have no interest in saving my potty mouthed "white privileged" ass. I am not really white privileged but I am white and work my ass off 80 hours a week so my employees have a pay check that doesn't bounce.

Your corporate domicile is not where you bank or operate nor is it where you have your residency if you care to be efficient and not waste money on asshole terrorists with hurt feelings.

I will happily pay US taxes on my US income employing grateful US employees in the greatest country in the world but my non-US business will flow tax free through HK until I onshore my Benjamins just like HP, Microshaft, Google etc.

Q- Do whatever you need to do to be happy and move your business forward and minimize your taxes legally. You have earned everyone of your $$$. I wish you well. As well there is a big difference from the past British rule, to the current "dead man walking" status of Hong Kong and to it being run under the same godless + merciless authoritarian fist like the rest of China.
